My husband just picked up Jawdi Grill to go. He asked them to make something special for me that I haven't had since we left L.A. (gyro meat on top of fries with feta cheese, lovingly known as gyro feta fries!). They not only obliged, they knocked it out of the park! I am beyond happy! Thank you SO much! He devoured the chicken shawarma pita and proclaimed that it was the best he's had since we moved here. 10/10 recommend. We will absolutely be back! read more

Jawdi Grill - Middle Eastern Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Great version of halal food. On our first visit this place was packed after some positive social media coverage and they asked us to come back for a better experience. This time they had a small lunch crowd and we only had to wait about 5 minutes for our food. We got a gyro platter and a gyro pita which were great! The platter had lots of toppings and goodies on the plate and was very large. The pita was still filling and the fries were actually tasty! (It's sad that such a thing surprises me but I like finding good fries.) After we ordered I saw on their wall an origin story that talked about their famous shawarma. I wish we'd seen that first and would have varied up our order a bit! That said, the gyro meat was excellent. It tasted more fresh than your average gyro spot and we enjoyed the flavor. Good counter service spot for a quick meal or some carry out. It's outside our normal path so I don't know how often we will return but it's worth a visit, especially if you're nearby. read more

Family owned restaurant, excellent food and service. Located in the Walmart shopping area, between the UPS store and Academy Sports. The interior was bright and attractively decorated. The employees were very friendly and helpfully answered our questions about the menu. I ordered a falafel sandwich and fries. The falafel was very good, and the fries were perfectly seasoned, hot and fresh. I really like the garlic sauce, I requested an extra cup and used it to dip my fries. Baba ganoush was smoky and creamy. Great flavor. Prices were very reasonable and servings were huge. Definitely plan to return here to try some of the other menu items. read more

Chicken Shawarma (arabic style): 8/10 Chicken shawarma platter: 9.5/10 Chicken shawarma pita sandwich: 8/10 ** all came with a choice of fries or salad Falafel & Hummus platter: 9/10 Review Jawdi grill is a spectacular trip to FlavorTown! A spot that I almost don't want to post bc it was just that good. Cravings were satisfied as everything came out looking phenomenal and tasting even better. I was so pleasantly surprised with the platter -- the rice was cooked perfectly and meat was so tender and had a nice smokey flavor. It was even better than some of the halal carts i've tried in NY #The falafel/hummus platter was a beautiful array of flavor and a perfect shareable. The hummus was so incredibly silken! I wish it was a little more garlicky~ but with the toum sauce, it was perfect. Plenty of parking is available in the lot out front. Order at the cash register and the food is called out. Open seating concept. The workers were nice and knowledgeable when I asked about portion sizing and it made for a seamless ordering process. Lastly, shoutout to the guy that gave me another soda when mine popped on the floor read more

Jawdi is a family owned restaurant that serves a menu of tasty Middle Eastern cuisine. This location is their second location (the first is in downtown Carmel). We visited for an early lunch. Middle Eastern music played overhead. We were greeted when we entered by Ahmed. I ordered the Greek Salad, which is colorful and huge with interesting pickled radish. The dressing is lemony and perfect for the bed of traditional salad. I loved my salad. My husband had the Beef Shwarma Wrap with fries. He loved the seasoning on the generous portion of beef. The fries were hot and crispy. A clerked checked on us several times even though there is no table service. The staff is friendly. The dining room is upscale fast food with lots of tables and a small counter. The walls are filled with fun sayings along with the Jawdi family story. read more

Great place to get gyros and shawarma! The fries were amazing, and so crunchy. The serving portions are huge, so be prepared for leftovers. I highly recommend getting chicken over beef or lamb since the beef and lamb were dry. I love that they give garlic sauce on the side with the gyros. The food is delicious and has lots of flavor. All the drinks are cans and water bottles, which were way overpriced. I wish cups of water were free. Service was okay. Lots of free parking in the lot out front since the restaurant is in a plaza. read more

If you have tried Fayrouz on Main st Jawdi grill is owned by the same owner. Opened about 1+ months ago Jawdi grill has been getting rave reviews for all the good reasons. First off, location is great right beside Walmart, gas station and a shopping area making it easily accessible for lunch or dinner. Second Mediterranean style restaurant is always great and unique. We went as a group of 8 with 4 kids on a Friday night and although the place was so busy we got our food in less than 10 minutes and our portions were pretty huge. The meats are excellent and the combination never disappoints! Highly recommend trying it! read more

The best beef shawarma I've ever had! I also tried the kifta platter on my next visit, and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were polite, professional, and very helpful. The food was authentic, flavorful, and the overall experience was excellent. I can't wait to come back and try more items from the menu! Oh and the Falafel Sandwich was amazing!!! Been there few times the last few weeks and worth it. read more

I'm honestly shocked that Jawdi isn't wrapped around the block with a line out the door... like, are people gatekeeping this place or what? First off, the Jawdi platter with chicken gyro and beef is an absolute problem--in the best way possible. You go in thinking you'll "try a few bites" and suddenly you're guarding your plate like it's the last meal on earth. The flavors are unreal--perfectly seasoned, juicy, and somehow every bite tastes better than the last. I don't know what they're putting in it, but I'm convinced there's some kind of delicious sorcery involved. And the prices? Way too reasonable for how good this is. I actually double-checked the menu because I thought they forgot to charge me for how happy I was. The biggest mystery: why isn't this place packed 24/7?! I'm half tempted to keep it a secret... but that would be selfish. Do yourself a favor--go to Jawdi, get the platter, and thank me later. Then immediately text your friends because this spot deserves a crowd. read more

Quality Palestinian food - shawarma, falafel, kabobs. Limited menu but what they have is good. We will be back.

Came by this strip mall today on an errand and noticed Jawdi Grill that appeared out of nowhere. I assume it is brand new due to lack of reviews and not seeing it before. I ordered the Shawarma which they have choice of Chicken or Beef (no lamb unfortunately). It comes in a laffa vs a pita. They also have a few other dishes like Kibbeh, Falafel, Hummus and Baba Ganoush, and for some reason Spanakopita which leans into Greek rather than middle east. I think that is something they did to please the Americans. They shave directly off the spits, which is excellent as a lot of places around here take shortcuts by shaving early and then reheating later. When you order you get option of salad or fries, there is no option for a sandwich only. It tasted great! Fresh, hot and delicious. I'll be back as long as quality doesn't slip as the restaurant gains age. read more

The wait was 30 min, but that was to be expected because it just opened. (And kudos to them for having so many people excited to come eat there!) Staff was super nice and working really hard to get all the orders out. 4/5 stars Gyro was good, next time I'll have them put the tzatziki inside, not on the side, and add feta. Will go back again and try a plate. Great addition to Westfield. read more

Growing up in a family where Lebanese meals were often prepared for those big family get-togethers, I crave all of the middle eastern dining offerings. Both the food and being surrounded by family. Today at Jawdi Grill, I was able to enjoy at least the authentic food to satisfy those cravings. I wanted to try several of the menu items but decided on gyro in pita and my husband had kofta kebabs. Thank goodness I didn't order more because the servings were very generous. The salad was amazingly fresh with olives, pickled turnip, tomato, cucumber with delicious dressing. The pita with gyro meat was excellent along with the tzatziki sauce. It overflowed the pita and had to be eaten with a fork rather than a handheld sandwich. We had leftovers to take home. Yes, I still miss my family and memories of family gatherings but the employees of this restaurant greeted us with smiles, kindness, and seemed happy to serve us. Can't wait to go back for a serving of spanakopita, hummus, babaganoush, falafel, chicken shawarma, bakalava..... Thank you for choosing Westfield to locate your restaurant! read more

Nothing but big smiles when I first walked in. I have a couple questions and they answered happily. I had the chicken shawarma pita, which was the most delicious Mediterranean meal I've ever had. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and tender, the garlic sauce and veggies were fresh. Hands down, the best food in this area. read more

You order up at the counter and they lost my order so after people that arrived after me got their food, I went up to inquire about my order and then they found it. They asked for a tip, even though they don't serve you. The food was very dry and bland. I had the beef Shawarma platter and it was just not worth the $17 price. The fries were delicious and the only thing that was very good. I expected this to be a sitdown restaurant and was disappointed you had to wait in line to order. There are better choices out there I won't be back read more

Great food! We try shawarma anytime that we travel and Jawdi hit the spot. Friendly staff, good food, quick counter service. We had the Arabic chicken and the Arabic beef shawarma and they were great. They each came with a garlic sauce and a sauce specific to the type of meat (tahini and a tazitiki type cucumber sauce) both were great and we both agree they rank in the top 3 of the places we've had across the country. read more

Very good. Everything seemed fresh and well prepared. Generous portions. My plastic fork broke at some point and ended up getting a plastic tine in my food but not a big deal.

This is the most authentic shawarma I've had since my time living in Kuwait and Qatar. It's absolutely delicious and well worth visiting. Once you order expect to wait as they prepare fresh for you. It's a small shop located in a strip mall so expect tight seating once you order. The service, which is simple walk up and order, is simple. This is not a classy joint, it's shawarma fast food just as you'd get in SW Asia. Great tastes await! read more

Their food is SO good! They were so nice and the price for two people is even better especially from how much food you get.

Christmas Eve and the place was packed! I had the beef shawarma wrap and it was so good! They were out of gyro meat which I'm not mad- that's a good sign that it's good and I can't wait to go back and try it. The platters they were handing out were absolutely beautiful. I was supposed to get a salad and got home to find fries but I'm not even mad!! I will definitely keep this place in business! Well done guys! read more

This restaurant had only been open a few weeks, and you'd never know it. The food was excellent, the service was attentive, and the pricing was very reasonable. The space is quite bright and they don't serve alcohol, so next time I visit I'll probably order carryout--but overall, a great experience and a strong start for a new spot read more
